Yeah, I got the Victor Reader Wave manual to play just fine. In fact, you can say "listen-up ." while inside the book's directory too. My mystery now is to get books built by Eclipse Writer to work. I bought Eclispse Writer to convert my bookshare books to something usable. In particular, the O'Reilly books from bookshare aren't compatible with the provided reader so I convert them to DAISY 2.02 with synthesised speech so I can listen to them with my Victor Wave and I was hoping to be able to use listen-up to use them while in Linux. I'm baffled as to why they work one place but not somewhere else. Perhapse there's a better DAISY builder than Eclipse but this seemed to be the most reasonably priced product available to me. I wwould also like to see if listen-up could be rigged to read RFB books also.
